After setting up a server running RakNet, I run the following code:
peer->GetSockets(sockets);
for (auto i = 0; i < sockets.Size(); ++i)
LOG(INFO) << "Bound to address " << peer->GetMyBoundAddress(i).ToString();
The output is the following (I set up one port for IPv4 and one port for IPv6):
2016-06-21 20:11:07,450 INFO Bound to address 127.0.0.1|1111
2016-06-21 20:11:07,460 INFO Bound to address ::1|1112
What I find incredibly strange is that RakNet has bound to the loopback address. However, the server seems to work and does accept connections. My two questions are:
Why is RakNet binding to the loopback instead of the ethernet addresses?
How does anything even get through to the server? Since it's bound to the loopback address, wouldn't it only receive packets generated on the same machine?
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
because in lan, loopback addr is same to your local ethernet addr. thay is 127.0.0.1 is same to 192.168.1.107 both of them are your local address.

No, senddata to 127.0.0.1 is only called by you, other people in lan would send data to 192.168.1.107.
